Check clearance at doors and appliances before committing to the finished floor height. Include transitions in the measured scope.
Identify the underlay specified for the selected floor. Building requirements may also affect the proposed assembly.
Ask for the written workmanship terms and retain the product care instructions. Confirm the agreed scope and any exclusions before work begins.



Laminate is not refinished like a wood wear layer. Review repair or replacement options for damaged sections instead.
Samples can narrow the appearance, but suitability and preparation should be checked before the final product and installation plan are confirmed.
Include the property address, photos of the affected rooms and approximate dimensions. Mention previous work and any building access restrictions.
The existing surface and selected system need inspection. Ask the proposal to distinguish removal, preparation and finishing from the main installation or restoration work.
Discuss essential access and furniture locations before scheduling. The proposed sequence must allow for the actual work and product return-to-use instructions.
Check the rooms, materials, preparation, transitions and exclusions. Confirm who handles furniture and removal, and how changes discovered during work will be addressed.
Measure the new floor plus approved underlay against the saddle. Confirm door swing and the movement allowance before deciding whether the old threshold can stay.
Check the base and the product instructions on each level. A slab and a wood subfloor can call for different preparation and permitted layers.
